[Bards] What's your Favorite Piece?

I really like the idea of a Bardmoot at Gulf War.

A lot of bards are gathered together, there's usually a couple of large
pavilions that would be glad to host the lot, for half a day or an evening
even, and if it went well enough, it might become a habit, er, I mean
tradition.
